Hold at the front edge of the brown and pull the trigger.

What's your point? We all miss.
I was just kidding around, but my point is that eventually you'll fire a shot that hits a deer in the @ss and he'll be left wondering around with a bad wound. Just doesn't seem right is all, but again, to each his own....

I feel you dude. Only the most experiencedBad a$$ shootersshould be shooting deer on the run. I think alot of hunters take shots that they THINK they can take.
T.O. thinks he is the greatest WR of all time...that does'nt make it so!

I'm surprised not more people said that it was wrong to shoot at a running deer, a few people said it, but not as many as I would have thought.
Because it's not worth it.

Saying to only take a shot you are 100% sure will quickly kill the deer is just talk.
Just talk? An arrow doesn't leave my rest or a bullet leave my gun unless I'm 110% sure the deer is dead. What is your percentage 50/50 or so?

It is what we all hope for but not realistic.
Why not?

110% sure eh? Well considering that's impossible I don't buy it. I don't care if the deer is standing still 20 feet away, unless you have a 12 gauge pointed at his head you can't be 110% sure that it will be a kill shot. Weird things happen and it can never be that high of a percentage. 99.9% sure is ok, but there is always that chance that something might happen. Hell, it could even be a faulty bullet that shoots way off target, anything could happen.

I think I'm just trying to say that shooting at a running deer is going to eventually cause a deer to suffer and that there is no such thing as a 100% shot, close, but not quite.....

I don't want to sound liek the ethics police, but c'mon[:@]. I cannot believe there is an actual conversation and support for this.

Everyone knows that taking a running shot is less than ethical.

I have seen men that can shoot asprins out of the air with a bow, but they don't take running shots. Just because you can do it, does not mean it isthe right thing to do for the animal.

Sorry dude (NY Bowhunter), but your wrong. You may be a champion marksman, and never missed in your life, and always had your deer fall instantly...but there is NO WAY FOR ANYBODY TO BE 110% SURE OF ANYTHING EXCEPT FOR DEATH AND TAXES!!! Crap happens. You dont know the physiological condition of the deer you shoot. You have no idea how much " fight" can be in a deer. A bad shot can always happen, and there is no way anybody can be sure that a deer is "dead" at the moment you pull your trigger or release your bow. thousands of freak occurances happen man, and if you think you or your gear is "110%" sure, then you my friend have an arrogance problem...no disrespect implied...
My brother in law shot a wounded deer point blank in the head with a Winchester 30-30, and he DID NOT die. Most would think that shot is 110% sure to put a deer out of his misery...but it was'nt. And its not like this deer hade some wacky condition...he was wounded by an inaccurate hunter[&:]

The fair tax could actually help with the burden of taxes, but not so much with the death thing....
